What is CVE-2026-22754?

A vulnerability exists in Spring Security where improperly configured servlet paths can lead to an authorization bypass. If applications define servlet paths using the tag <sec:intercept-url servlet-path="/servlet-path" pattern="/endpoint/**"/>, the servlet path may be excluded, and as a result, related authorization rules might not be enforced. This could allow unauthorized access to sensitive endpoints in applications utilizing Spring Security from version 7.0.0 through 7.0.4.

Affected Version(s)

Spring Security 7.0.0 <= 7.0.4
